The impact of the First World War on Russia was immense. In the early
stages of the war the Russian army suffered huge losses at Tannenburg
and at the Battle of the Masurian Lakes. These losses resulted in unrest
in the army and led to questions being asked about the way in which the
military was run. As a result of ongoing military blunders, Tsar Nicholas
II decided to take charge of the army himself. Whilst his presence at
the frontlines may have acted as a boost to troops in the short term,
it created a huge problem in the medium term. Firstly, as commander in
chief of the army he would have to shoulder the blame for any defeats
himself. Secondly, as head of an autocratic state he was required to make
governmental decisions. How could be do this when government was in St
Petersburg, and he was several days journey away at the front? In his
absence many rumours about the Tsarina and the Holy man Rasputin spread.
The Tsarina was a German princess and she was an easy target for those
who were disgruntled. Rasputin was a strange figure. He was a Holy Man
who had become very close to the Imperial family. He had a calming influence
over the Tsarina and was widely believed to have mystical powers that
would help the ill Tsarevich in his fight against illness. With the Tsar
away though, Rasputin's excesses became a major focus of attention and
his influence on the Imperial Family was viewed with suspicion by many.
In 1916, supporters of the Tsar murdered Rasputin.FututronLikes:Be first to like this answerDislikes:Be first to dislike this answerTalk about this|Once you have earned teacher badge you can edit this questionDelete|Like|Dislike|------------------------------------
